First of all i have to say im was not expecting to see Arsenal losing and less to see them losing in this way, we all know Brighton is a really good team but despite that they are not close to a team like Arsenal or any other title contender, so i dont know how they manage to destroy Arsenal in this way, 3-0 against the current champion and current leader is no joke, plus Arsenal arrive to this game with 5 clean sheets.

Arsenal got a bad setback, it was supposed to be a fairly easy game to win, instead I think a lot of the players who placed the bet on Arsenal to win were disappointed (myself included).
The thing that makes me think the most is the amount of goals conceded, I can understand receiving a goal for an error, but when it's 3 goals, it's no longer just a single error.
Obviously whoever plays better wins, Arsenal in this match seem to have lost all their attacking ability.

The American Express stadium have always been a difficult ground for Arsenal, even when Arsenal got a win last there last season, they have to work hard for it. Brighton is really a very good side and they would cause problems to any team in the premier league. We saw how they came back from 2 goals down in the Corabao cup against Manchester United.

It really good that the international break is here, at least Arsenal will now put that lost behind them and try to bounce back. Today Manchester city will play against Sunderland, a win will put them top of the league as we go into the international break.

Its a wake up call for Gunners at right time. May be after winning their 4 opening games, Arsenal start taking things lightly. Brighton has given Arsenal a signal that its EPL and you can't relax unless you win the title. Now its a great opportunity for Man City to win tonight game against Sunderland and grab the first position on points table. Man City is unbeaten so far while Sunderland has won just one game but still Man City must put all their efforts in their upcoming game to avoid first loss or draw of the season.

Arsenal overconfidence was one of the reasons for their defeat. Many are blaming luck for their big defeat in this match. Brighton have been in good form recently, winning 4-0 against Aston Villa their first match, although they lost 4-3 against Chelsea in the next match. The team's biggest win was against Coventry City, which Brighton won 5-0. I think Brighton played their normal game against Arsenal and got an incredible win. I have seen Arsenal perform in almost every match this season, but I have never seen them in such a bad form against Brighton.

Of course, we were expecting a strong match between the two teams because Brighton has always a headache for Arsenal. But I was amazed at the level of winning. A 3 :0 winning without a reply? That was humiliation the Arsenal team. I can't remember the last time Arsenal conceded that amount of goal from a single team in a single match. To me, its a big humiliation for the reigning champions. If it was a 1:0, 1:1, 2:1 or so, it would have been understandable. But a 3:0 defeat is just not right for me. This shows that the Arsenal team is not too strong or is still very vulnerable to winnings. This is an eye opener to the team and they should get ready for more fights to defend there title.

It was a tough first half for Liverpool, even though they had a decent number of shots that forced Bournemouth to be on their toes.
For Iraola, a win against Bournemouth could help maintain his confidence, as he has only managed to secure one victory for Liverpool in the Premier League so far. I certainly didn’t have overly high expectations for Iraola in his first season as manager, but ensuring the team finishes within the top four is something he must achieve.

Manchester City vs. Sunderland—judging by the number of goals and the time between them—looks like it will be an exciting match.

There is no excuse for Iraola, he has to hit the ground running. Let’s stop all these first season excuses for underperforming coaches. Enzo Maresca is a new manager at Manchester City, but they are topping the league presently. Iraola has been at the premier league for long now, he understands the demands of the league. He had enough time to prepare for the season. He should start winning playing draws every week won’t help him.

So basically, Manchester City Vs Sunderland match is about you score we score. City will score and Sunderland will score. As at this moment it's City 4 Vs Sunderland 3, a brace for Manchester player and a hat trick for a Sunderland player, with how it's going the match isn't yet settled as both teams are attacking but mostly from City as expected. Sunderland wants to equalise, what a clearance by Diaz, Sunderland right now is on fire and almost scored the 4th. More goals smelling from both goalposts. Interesting match it is and I wonder how it's going to end, let's wait and see.

Show me any other league that's unpredictable like the Premier league 

I believe no one gave Sunderland a chance before the match. We expect Manchester City to crush them like the mid table team they are but see Sunderland now. They level the score with Manchester City in the first 12 minutes of the game. Scoring 3 against Manchester city means no team can be written off in this league.

A goal for Haaland finally. City 5 - 3 Sunderland at 88 minutes.

It was not a surprise at all judging from the way Manchester City has been playing, I just knew when they face a stubborn opponent they will find it difficult but it's a good thing that they are able to keep scoring and extending their lead. It 5-3 currently and almost time to end the game, I see this going in favor of Manchester City. It was a good game for both teams and a good game to watch. Good to see Haaland finally on the score sheet.vwho would believe he only got a goal in this goalfest.

Arsenal fans would be sad that Sunderland couldn't take any point in this game. Manchester City will be 3 points ahead of them now leading the race till the end of the break.

Iraola heard the news. Liverpool won even though they scored just one goal on 13 shots. Isak proved to be the game-changer—and a nightmare for those hoping Liverpool would fail to earn all three points.
We simply can’t accept Iraola’s excuse that Liverpool couldn’t get good results in their first season because he’s no stranger to the Premier League. You have to understand that the pressure of being Liverpool’s coach is different from that of being Bournemouth’s coach.
Iraola defeated Bournemouth, though he felt it was a bit too much to score more than one goal.

You have actually sent the right thing, it was also an advantage for Arsenal for discovering their problem in this early stage, i hope they fix it fast, because it will be very bad to see the current champion battling to survive with even the bottom teams, although Brighton will not be considered as the bottom teams now because of how they are treating the top teams. Take a look at how Chelsea, Manchester United and Arsenal suffered in their hands, but Chelsea did very well to even winning against them, but it was in narrow escape for them. I am not really happy for Arsenal to lose a game at this level, I will just wait and see how their performance is going to be in their future games to see whether they can keep their promise of winning the title again this season.

Although losing to Brighton was not what was anticipated, we now need to take our game even more seriously, because we underestimated our opponent. Just look at how we were defeated, and it wasn't that bad. I believe this should serve as a lesson that we need to take things more seriously because that is the only way things can get even better. And we must now realize that the game is more serious than we initially believed. We cannot unwind at this time; in fact, it is our best chance to avoid losing points. And we should not give Manchester City any chance if not, it won't go well for us.

It's so hilarious Manchester United is still paying 300k weekly for Lisandro Martinez. The own goal against Fulham has to be his worst own goal in his entire life. Other than Martinez's OG, there's no much else to say about Manchester United performance. They unable to beat a club with one men down, and it sounds a magical if they can beat a team with full players like Fulham. I think Martinez becomes the only top scorer for today. He helped Fulham to get three points and what a hero.

Manchester United is awful in almost everythingg. I'm not starting to count about 25 minutes remaining before Manchester United fans to chant Carrick out from their club. Carrick was only doing well last season, and he gets a factory reset to be an awful manager.
They never serious in signing a proper coach to handle the club.

I think nother season is wasted, and they will slowly become a midtable forgotten team.
